Looks like Android with extra animations and "use AI plz" prompts. What am I missing?

The fact that this os might teach Americans how to spell Aluminum correctly is kind of hilarious to me. Or are they going to mispronounce the OS too?

What is correctly?

The original spelling, which follows the same pseudo-Latin convention other chemical names use is: Alumium

All other spellings are from people adding one or more letters because they think it sounds better.

I'm also confused by the parent comment because it appears that they spelled it in the American way, whereas the OS seems to use the British spelling. If they think the OS will teach people the correct way, evidently they don't spell it correctly.

Given the iOS-ification of macOS, the macOS-ification of Android is a good thing. If this shrinks well and encourages more netbook form factors or desktop norms on tablets, even better.

All that really matters is whether or not it is locked down. If it isn't locked down, you can run whatever OS and UI modifications you want. If it is locked down, and you can only run approved software, then you are stuck with the features they want.

MacBook Neo Aurora? Google does better UIX software and vampire taps userdata?
